Reconstruction of the Hoden 13-07-2013 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed nonagon (regular 9-sided polygon) of circle 1, the mid-point of one side on the upper intersection with the vertical centerline. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of nonagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed nonagon of circle 3, the mid-point of one side on the lower intersection with the vertical centerline. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of nonagon 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 5 at the upper side. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the center of circle 1. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the top of nonagon 4, passing through the adjacent righthand (and lefthand) angular point(s). | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circle 6 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 9 at the upper side. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 6. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 11 at the lower side. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the center of circle 6. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the lefthand intersection of circles 12 and 13. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 14, tangent to circle 7 at the far side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 to the lower intersection of circle 11 and the vertical centerline. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the lower side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 to the center of circle 6. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 to the righthand intersection of circles 17 and 18. | |||
20. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed nonagon of circle 12, one angular point coincident with the center of circle 14. | |||
21. | ![]() | Copy circles 14 and 15 eight times, to the other angular points of nonagon 20. | |||
22. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed nonagon of circle 17, one angular point coincident with the center of circle 19. | |||
23. | ![]() | Copy circle 19 eight times, to the other angular points of nonagon 22. | |||
24. | ![]() | Circles 5, 14, 15, 19, 21 and 23, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
25. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
26. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
27. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Hoden formation of 13-07-2013. High resolution dwf-file | |||
